We live in a time when many are falling away. Whether it’s called “deconstruction” or some other term the tragic result is the same – walking away from God. This has terrible eternal consequences. Asa was a King from Judah. When faced with a battle where his army was outnumbered two to 1, Asa cried out to God for deliverance and watched the Lord come through in the big way. After several decades of prosperity, Asa drifted from God and his hard went hard. This is a timely warning for us during these last days.

The Parable of the Sower, found in Luke 8:4-15, illustrates how different types of soil represent various responses to God's Word. The wayside, stony ground, thorny ground, and good soil each symbolize how people receive and act on the Word. The sermon emphasizes the transformative power of God's Word, the importance of deep spiritual roots, and the need to combat worldly distractions.

Dear Misty Creek Faithful,In this week's sermon "Finish The Race", I will elaborate on Apostle Paul's parting words to Timothy, specifically focusing on three aspects: the importance of proclaiming the Word, the manner in which to do so and the motivations behind it. I will emphasize the vital role every believer has in sharing their faith, warning against complacency and advocating for readiness in every instance - both convenient and inconvenient. I will demonstrate this analogy using examples from modern life, like being called into a game off the bench.The sermon further expounds on how to proclaim the Word as delivered by Apostle Paul with emphasis on reproof, rebuke, exhortation, and teaching. I will reaffirm how these actions need to be carried out with wisdom and in-depth understanding of the Scriptures. The necessity to handle interactions with patience and respect, by seeing individuals as people to love instead of projects to work on. Moreover, I will explore the motivation for spreading the Word, which should be centered entirely on Jesus Christ. An assertion is made that by recognizing Jesus as the essence of everything we do, the courage and trust to carry forward God's work can be achieved.The sermon draws parallels between Paul's final words and the Ephesus church's tales as described in the book of Revelation, encouraging believers to remain steadfast in their love for Jesus Christ. The sermon, adorned with relevant and touching anecdotes, conveys its main points effectively. It cites the example of Brazilian skateboarder Rayssa Leal, who quoted scriptures through sign language during her Olympic run, and a story about a young boy confidently packing his bags for heaven, embodying hope in God's promises. Concluding with a tale about Billy Graham, who despite his Parkinson's disease, reassured that his life's purpose and direction were well known, the sermon emphasizes the surety one can have in life with God.In summary, the sermon sends out a powerful message to believers to disseminate God's Word with wisdom while keeping Jesus Christ as the focal point, inculcating hope and love within themselves as well as others around them. We can boldly proclaim; I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.Grace and Peace,Stephen

I contend it's easier to start the race than to finish.It's easier to get a first down than a touchdown.It's easier to get to first base than score a run. And it's easier to get someone to start the Christian life than to finish it.But just like in these sports examples, if you want to be a winner in the Christian life, finishing is what counts.Join us for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn moreScripture Used in Today's Message2 Timothy 4:7Proverbs 3:1-2Have you read my book, "Takin' it to Their Turf"?If not, you may request a copy on my website, www.TomthePreacher.comWe send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email.

Systemic racism refers to systems in place that create and maintain racial inequality. Surprisingly, our public education system is one of those systems. Evolution is a cruel and hopeless religion, but there is something even deeper and more sinister at play in our public schools and colleges that is never talked about. Dr. Jonny exhorts parents and students to stand up to our science teachers and professors and expose the systemic and insidious racism in their teaching.
